She arrives ready to fight for her freedom, but the vampire insists they make a deal instead…Ballads at Midnight is a Ren'Py-based dark fantasy romance and collaborative visual novel between Synstoria (Imperial Grace), Wudgeous (Herotome), Arrapso, Notafish, Jeneara, Rowanty, Eliana Zebro, Shar Joyner, Megan Youmans, Eric Navarro, and Kiminako. It features fairly kinetic gameplay, focusing instead on showcasing a defined protagonist and an abundance of character banter.The base game was created in one month during the Nanoreno 2022 game jam, and an additional secret ending, Unveiled, is in development.The game is available for free on itch.io and is also coming to steam. Additional content can be found on the Extras page, which is hosted by the lead writer Wudgeous.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); })This page contains minor unmarked spoilers.

comment
Brutal Honesty: In a curious subversion of trickster bard tropes, Abigail asserts she is a miserable liar and thus has a policy of being honest to a fault. She will even inform her vampire host that his cooking tastes terrible and that she intended to hit him with a fire poker.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_3'); })

You can try to make her lie about her opinion of his cooking. Abigail will attempt to craft elaborate praise for the dish, and Lucius's response is predictably dry.

comment
Blunt "No": Lucius says outlandishly ridiculous things sometimes. When Abigail is surprised and asks if he’s being serious, he responds with a deadpan “No.”
